Benriach 1997 14 Year Old Kings Royal Hussars Single Malt Whisky

The Benriach 1997 14 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is the second limited release for the King's Royal Hussars. Finished in a Madeira Hogshead number 7592 and bottled in December 2011 at 55.7%abv. 350 bottles were filled.

Benriach distillery was built in 1898 in the shadow of sister, and better known, distillery Longmorn. It still retains it's own floor maltings, the smallest in Scotland, which produces 8% of the malt required for the distillery. It has an amazing history of survival. Mothballed two years after it opened it remained so till 1965, when it was re-equipped and production restarted, producing a lighter style of malt whisky. After several changes of ownership, and a short period mothballed, the Benriach distillery was acquired in 2004 by an independent consortium. Whilst maintaining the best of the old traditions the Benriach are also bringing in some new and exciting expressions, including some interesting finishes and several peated expressions (which in fact harks back to the old Speyside style).
